Title: Improvements in and connected with car coupling devices
IPC: B61G5/04
Filed: 1924-07-28
Abstract: 236,395. Jensen, C. A., (Buckeye Steel Castings Co.). July 28, 1924. Couplings, automatic, convertible to non-automatic.-A transition coupling device comprises a bail to which the non-automatic chain coupling is attached and which is hooked to trunnions on the automatic coupler head and locked in working position by its relation to the top parts of the coupler. The automatic coupler head 1 is provided with an open-ended trunnion 2 and a trunnion 3 supported at its end by a rib 3a upstanding from the coupler head. A bail 4 having hooked ends 8, Fig. 2, carries a chain coupling 9 and is hooked on to the trunnions, the coupler head being disconnected from the draw-bar for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a machine for the centrifugal casting of pipes
IPC: B22D13/10
Filed: 1969-04-09
Abstract: 1,219,238. Centrifugal casting machines. CENTRE DE RECHERCHES DE PONT-AMOUSSON. 9 April, 1969 [19 April, 1968], No. 18083/69. Heading B3F. [Also in Division F2] A centrifugal casting machine has a mould 2, a water-jacket 3 rotatable with the mould, annular fixed parts 7 for supplying and discharging water and seals J<SP>1</SP>-J<SP>4</SP> between the annular fixed parts 7 and the jacket 3, each seal comprising a collar 10 adapted to rotate with the jacket 3, a ring 11 freely mounted on the collar with a slight radial clearance, and means 16 for locking the ring 11 relative to the fixed annular part 7. When the mould 2 and jacket 3 are not rotating, there is no water in the annular space 4 and the ring 11 bears on the collar 10. When water under pressure is admitted through the fixed part 7 to the annular space 4 and the mould 2 and jacket 3 are rotated, water fills the space between the ring 11 and collar 10 which thus form stationary and rotating parts, respectively, of a fluid bearing.

IPC: C25D3/02
Filed: 1944-09-22
Abstract: 591,866. Electrodeposition of metals. INDIANA STEEL & WIRE CO. Sept. 22, 1944, No. 18166. Convention date, Aug. 19, 1943. [Class 41] In the electrodeposition of metals including zinc, cadmium nickel, cobalt, copper, silver platinum, rhodium and palladium, from aqueous solutions of their metal-ammonia complex salts, an anode having a surface of natural or artificial magnetite is employed. Decomposition of ammonia in the process is stated to be thereby greatly reduced. Ammonia is preferably present in excess. The anode may be wholly of magnetite or may comprise a core of a good conductor such as iron, zinc, copper or silver covered with magnetite on its immersed portion. The magnetite may also be mixed with a smaller amount of another metal oxide, e.g. 20 per cent of copper oxide. A mixture of metals may be deposited from a solution of their metalammonia complex salts. The complex salt employed is preferably a chloride, but acetates, phosphates, carbonates, sulphates, nitrates, tartrates and citrates may also be employed. Means may be provided for regenerating the electrolyte by addition of metal thereto. Specification 509,577 is referred to.

Abstract: 994,221. Valves. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. May 11, 1962 [May 13, 1961], No. 18185/62. Heading F2V. [Also in Division G3] A control spool valve 12 comprises a land 42 controlling flow from a line 36 to a drain line 43 in response to movements of a lever 9 or 20 on an actuating member 49. The member 49 is in the form of a piston having a transverse bore 51 engaged by a pin 52 extending through the spool whereby the spool has limited axial movement relative to the member 49. The spool is provided with ports 54 leading from a groove 41 to a chamber 53 formed by the member 49 and the spool. When the spool is moved to the right to close the flow passage the throttling toward the end of the stroke provides pressure in the chamber 53 to move the spool to the right relatively the member 49 causing a complete closure of the flow forth. In a modification, the spool is rigidly connected to the stem such as 49, and the spool carries a land movable axially between stops on the spool. As described, the land 42 controls leakage from line 36 to drain to control a valve 29 which when closed allows a pump 23 to deliver full pressure to a piston cylinder device 40 to control the lifting gear on a farm tractor. A land 46 controls flow from line 44 to drain to allow lowering of the gear. The levers 9 and 20 are moved in response to draft or position respectively, the set position being adjusted by levers 14 and 22.

Abstract: 985, 911. Electric selective signalling systems. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. May 29, 1961 [May 27, 1960], No. 18741/60. Heading G4H. A system for indicating the relative displacement of two members by using independent "coarse" and "fine" digitisers is characterized in that an electrical coupling between the two digitisers is provided to prevent errors which might otherwise occur at relative displacements at which "carry" should occur from the fine to the coarse digitiser. As described the fine digitiser comprises an inductosyn, Fig. 1, having a fixed winding A and a movable pick-up winding BC which produces a signal phase-displaced with respect to a reference signal, which phasedisplacement is digitised, in known manner, by gating relatively high frequency clock-pulses to a counter, and the coarse digitiser comprises an array of conductive segments 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 &c., Fig. 1, and two brushes K, L, Fig. 2. The brushes K, L, when displaced, sequentially apply potentials to the outputs leads of the conductive segments. This, as shown, will, for some positions of the brushes, cause two of the segments to raised in potential simultaneously, and the particular segment that is to provide the final output is selected by an array of gates controlled by signals on two leads M, N from the fine digitiser, it being arranged that a potential is applied to lead N when the fine digitiser is in a position corresponding to the bottom half of an increment of the coarse digitiser and that lead M is marked when lead N is not marked.

[Also in Group XXXI] A method of making stem lugs for cycle and motor-cycle handle-bars from prefabricated metal parts forming, as one part, a jaw clip and a tubular spigot from an elliptical sheet metal blank and forming, as the other part, a tubular socket and a tubular cap lug from an elliptical sheet metal blank, assembling the parts so that the spigot enters the socket, and uniting the parts by welding or brazing the spigot in the socket. The jaw clip and spigot 1, 3, Fig. 1, are made as described with reference to Figs. 3-8 of the parent Specification, i.e. by pressing the spigot from an elliptical blank and clipping, piercing and bending the elliptical flange, except that the spigot 3 is squared to oblong section with its major dimension parallel to the major axis of the elliptical flange and a part-cylindrical strengthening liner 4 is welded or brazed in the jaw clip 1. The socket and cap part is formed by drawing an elliptical blank to form a tubular boss 6, Fig. 3, surrounded by an elliptical flange 7, squaring the boss to oblong section 9, Fig. 5, pressing the flange 7 to a shape 12, cropping the blind end of the boss 9 to give an open socket 11, Fig. 7, arcuate-edged at 13, and bending the flange 12 first into U-shape and then closed to form a cylindrical cap lug which is welded or brazed along the seam 14, Fig. 10. An end cap 15 is then welded or brazed on to the part so formed which is welded or brazed on to a handle-bar stem tube 16. The spigot 3 is then fitted into the socket 11 and welded or brazed thereto. In a modification, Fig. 11, the spigot 3 and socket 11 are of circular cross-section and the end of the socket is gapped to form lips 18. Such lips may be formed on the rectangularsectioned socket. The completed stem lug may be chromium-plated.
